Do you mean your subject's eyes are showing "redeye"? This is a common problem with cameras that have the flash very close to the lens. Almost every photo editing program has a tool to remove red-eye. Check your computer to see what you have installed.
In the future, most cameras have a red-eye flash setting which shoots a short flash before the main flash to close down the pupils in your subjects eyes to eliminate red-eye. You could also turn up the lights in the room...sometimes that helps.
bubba41,
You didn't mention using the built-in pop-up flash that's when you get the "red-eye" and you can set the flash for redeye reduction when it's used. If you are taking an indoor photo without the flash, if the redeye reduction is on turn it off that would eliminate the zombie or X-men eyes you are describing.

Does your camera's flash have a redeye reduction mode? It should tell you in your camera's manual. Some cameras use a pre-flash method which causes the flash to fire several times in succession before firing the shutter in order to give the subject's eyes time to adjust to the bright light.
Redeye is actually caused by the flash being too close to the camera's lens. That's why you see professional photographers using a flash attached to their cameras by a cable so they can move it away from the lens. Because you have a compact camera, there is no way to change this flash to lens distance.
You might also try just turning the flash off. Unless you are taking pictures in a very dark area, you may find the results to be very satisfactory.
Red-eye is actually caused by the light from the flash bouncing off the back of the retina and picking up the color red from the blood vessels.
To correct this effect, follow these steps:
Turn the mode dial to PlayBack Mode (green arrow) and display the image with redeye.
Press OK\Menu button.
Using the arrow pad, navigate to MODE MENU>EDIT>REDEYE FIX.
Press the right arrow key, START will display.
Press OK\Menu
After {BUSY} bar displays, a screen will display with an option to cancel or save the image.
? If the option [Go] is displayed, press the OK\Menu button. This saves a corrected version of the image.
? If the option CANCEL is displayed, than the camera was unable to correct the image. Press the left arrow key to exit.
This correction may not work on all pictures. If you import the original image into Olympus Master software you can also apply the Red-Eye fix located in the Edit menu. This lets you precisely pinpoint the eye area and remove the red. It even lets you remove green or blue, which can occur with animals.
